Houston hunts fouls and they were unsuccessful last night. Teams do tend to figure out Harden’s corny moves as the series goes on and there was some of that happening too.

Over 50% of the Rockets shots were from three point range. They shot 39 threes to the Warriors 38. This stuff is really easy to look up.

The Warriors shot two more free throws than Houston and won by 30. Steph and Klay shot zero FTs the entire game. KD was the only starter for Golden State who went to the line.

Houston played 7 guys (minus garbage time) and scored 25 points in the second half. It really felt like they went for a knockout in the first quarter and couldn’t sustain it.

It’s like every Pusha T album to me: grimy, really good, and full of coke slang I’m far too square to understand. Beats are great.

Inspiring to see Westbrook picking up where he left off.

“I was watching First Things First on FSI a few weeks back and Nick Wright says one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard...”

The Chargers ruined the NFL for me before the concussions and domestic violence and anthem “controversy” did. You won’t miss it.

The NFL really is the sport America deserves

It did used to be funnier in the Daulerio (ruined Deadspin) days, but Barstool’s comment section is comprised mostly of sub-literate mewling from people who peaked in high school.

This seems better than the Rockets’ other strategy of iso against Kevon Looney. That one doesn’t even make sense conceptually.

I’ll stay tuned for your provocative mouthguard-chewing take after Game 4.

I mean, I read your comment and it wasn’t very interesting, so I made a joke. The sum of your point is still “I find a great player doing exactly what makes him great infuriating and also he dances and that annoys me.” It’s okay.

“it is infuriating when Steph goes into “can’t miss” mode.”

You’re right. The Warriors were a historical powerhouse before he got there. What NBA fan hasn’t stayed up at night, reminiscing over Bob Sura, Andris Biedrins, and Ronny Turiaf?

Paul’s the go-to “best point guard” for people who value their own definitional purity over winning and always the guy you hear out of someone’s mouth when they’re giving you their performative “Steph is lame, imho” takes.

I guarantee this commenter thinks Chris Paul is better and will let you know what “pure point guard” means if you ask nicely enough.

Thank you for being “actually, I hate the way they play” guy. We need one of these in every Warriors thread so we can finally understand passing and shot-making are, in fact, bad.

I can’t quite shake the feeling that she was the glue holding them all together right now
